Ballikaa Vadu on Color TV

Wednesday, March 4, 2009


Oops... in my previous post I forgot to mention Ballika Vadu in my list of favorites serials. The main theme of this serial is Child marriage and problems arising out of this age old practice and its continued existence in some parts of India. This serial is good too but sometimes in between gets draggy and boring. Sometimes they simple exaggerate the situation, making very silly things look dreadful... really its kind of over reacting on very small things. Like for eg. if the dadi says something rude to the kid and stuff.

So in between I had lost interest and was not watching it. Started watching it just during Sugna's wedding preparation stage. At present, there is so much of crying in the serial Suguna's husband was killed by dacoits right on their ghowna day. Instead of the marriage there is the funeral, very good twist but extremely sorrowful. But I hope now in the coming episodes we dont get to see only rona-dona.

There is some very authentic Rajasthani touch to this serial. This gives it a very rough and tough feel which is something different. And probably that's why on Color TV there will soon be another serial based on Rajasthan background, 'Iss des na aana Laado'.
